If U.S. police forces want to get their hands on a higher-end vehicle, they normally have to rely on seizing one in a drug bust. If Dubai’s police department wants a flashy car, they buy it…and it seems they spare no expense.
The extravagance of Dubai has been well-documented and is most notably demonstrated in Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. But lavish spending in Dubai is not limited to large private corporations. Over the course of the last year, the city’s patrol cars have been updated to improve a fleet that already included BMW 5 Series cars and Hummer H1’s alongside its more typical Dodge Chargers and Ford Interceptors.
In a city with chronic speeding, Dubai’s police force won’t be outrun by anyone’s vehicle with some of the world’s most expensive luxury supercars at their disposal…
